This is a different way to paint and  lets children explore and do things their own way.

What you need:

• Paint
• String
• Scissors
• Paper

What to do:

1. Cut short lengths of string and fill up
painting pots with various colours of
paint.
2. Make sure your wee ones are properly
covered up – it’s about to get messy!
3. Some children might try pressing down
with the string. Others might drag it
across the paper or use it as a tiny paint
brush. Whatever it is, they’ll explore new
ways to make marks and  use their own imagination. You will have a wee masterpiece when they are finished!
